Offline social life – The importance of community and public spaces – what have we learned during the corona virus?
The lockdowns all around the world make us realise the importance of community and public life and spaces. Without coming together, our life is way more difficult. We are all closed into our homes and super narrow social bubbles. Even if we can have online “social life”, we cannot meet and have offline exchange with…

Let’s change now!
Dear World, as we all see, our health care system and political structure are very fucked up!
